EVE General Discussion

(Context: CCP is giving out holiday gifts, which can be chosen from the accout management system. One of the gifts are 2,000 Aurum)


What to do?

Shall we take them so CCP sees people is interested with the whole barbies in space businnes and the NEx MT scheme?

Or shall we leave them, as the NEx is pointlessly devoid while heaps of interesting stuff that work on Sisi are being held as placeholders at TQ for no good reason, and anyway the current MEGA-transaction prices are a bloody ripoff?

Or shall we hope (what else can we do? Shikata na gai!) that in the next days CCP will say something about the WiS issue so we can make an informed decission?

Or at least could we be assured that we won't be scammed by CCP's future actions if we take those AUR instead of something else we can use/sell/give away?

still not enough for monocle

Get the remap. It's what the cool kids do.
The poor kids get the fuel blocks.

P.S. Yes, the NEX is quite... ahem... I can't find the right word for it... hollow ? Desolate ? Void of interesting stuff at the time being ?

Considering the recustomization doesn't even work on half the machines out there anymore, get something more useful.

Remaps are worthless on short term alts which you plan to merge onto a main account. Better to get fuel blocks on them and the remap on your main.

Your socioeconomic ramblings are insipid, hollow. Who in their right minds wouldn't want a remap most of all if it was useful to them genius?? Hurr durr I want a 1m ISK destroyer, don't give anyone like that advice, it's an affront to Darwin.

you superglued a bottlecap.

onto your face.

And CCP Zinfandel is laughing at you.

That makes the alts "the poor kids" and the main "the cool kid".
Problem ?

Who wouldn't want a remap ? Well, let's see... somebody who doesn't USE remaps, for instance ? I know plenty of other people with 3 free remaps.
Sure, I'll still get the 4th free remap (if we get confirmation we can actually get it like that) because the value of anything else being offered is negligible and I can buy any of it from the market quite literally thousands of times over, and the 4th remap (which I won't be using) is the only thing I *CAN'T* just buy.

Also, who else would not get a remap ? A person trying to make ISK out of his holiday gift. Since you can't sell a remap, you won't make ISK from it.
Granted, 70 mil ISK is not such a big deal for somebody who's been around for a year or so, but then again, for quite a lot of people well under that pilot age it's A LOT of ISK.
Ask a newbie whether he wants 50 mil ISK or one extra remap, and there's a good chance he'll probably say he wants the ISK.

Leave it. Thanks for asking.

Remap is the only gift which you can't get using other ways (PLEX, play, ARUM).

really
